Not exactly true BYS, my dad served in the Pacific as an interpreter for Military Intelligence, one of the "hidden" warriors. Japanese-Americans of that era were first (born in Japan) and second generation. That may have been why they were not "trusted." It is ironic that two of our top WWII brass (General Eisenhower and Admiral Nimitz) were of Germanic descent. Katonk -- Our (Hawaii Japanese-Americans) term for Mainland Japanese-Americans. I see xadmax2 has changed his item's name to "Japanese." His notes say "no pun intended." The download does not work, though.
